I can’t say enough about David. We hired him for a corporate event AND for a separate fundraiser event and he hit the ball out of the park! Not only are his magic tricks amazing (i.e. mind-blowing!), he is such a great guy and very personable. Great jokes to boot…. and the crowd loved him.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is David Farr able to entertain people who don't speak English?
Thankfully, magic is very universally appealing to all walks of life! Although your non-english speaking guests may not totally understand every funny joke David makes, theyโ€™ll still be thoroughly entertained and amazed by what they see!
Does David perform outside of the Minneapolis St. Paul area?
Yes, even though David is based in Minneapolis, MN, he travels to all parts of Minnesota as well as the upper midwest in cities such as Des Moines, IA, Fargo, ND, Sioux Falls, SD and Madison, WI. You may have been looking for a magician near me when searching online but keep in mind David Farr will travel!
What do we need to provide you on our end?
What is needed varies based on the type of entertainment being provided. If you go with a strolling/close up magic package, where David is merely strolling through your event and entertaining the guests, there are virtually no additional requirements. Everything David needs he comes prepared with in his pockets ready to entertain when he arrives at the event. For the stage show packages, there are some important requirements that are needed in order for a successful performance. 1. If David is the only performer with equipment on the stage (besides a podium), then we recommend a stage at least 12′ x 8′ and at least 6 inches off the floor. Depending on how high the stage is, stairs might also be required as there is fun audience participation throughout the performance. In cases where David’s equipment would be sharing the stage with other performer(s), a larger stage me be necessary or other special considerations. 2. In most cases, David will provide his own sound system unless it’s a performance that requires air travel. In this case, we’ll also need a professional sound system setup and monitored throughout the performance. The best type of mic is a headset mic known as a “country man”. It is wireless and hands free. We also need an an input for an iPod for sound effects. Once again, most of the time David provides his own professional sound system. Please keep in mind that you still may have AV needs yourself and still may want to ask your venue to provide a microphone to show a presentation, announce winners, give speeches, etc. 3. In regards to lighting, we have no specific needs but do recommend not having your event too dark because it becomes more difficult for your guests to experience the amazing magic when they are struggling to see what’s happening.
What forms of payment do you accept?
We accept checks, Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover and PayPal. You may pay securely online using PayPal or our Secure Payment Page. If paying with check, please make check payable to “David Farr
Is David able to entertain while people are eating?
Technically yes but we really donโ€™t recommend it. By the nature of the entertainment, your guests participate in the magic and are often asked to help out. This is sometimes difficult when people are eating. And also itโ€™s hard to “watch closely” when youโ€™re enjoying dinner. This applies to all packages, strolling and stage shows.
Will this embarrass or offend anyone?
We’re proud to say that absolutely NO ONE is embarrassed in any way. Weโ€™ve heard many horror stories of how other entertainers have completely offended guests in the audience with off color jokes and remarks. David Farr’s entertainment is completely G-Rated and never relies on entertaining people by making fun or laughing at people. “Weโ€™re not laughing at you, weโ€™re laughing with youโ€ฆ”
What kind of room set up do you need for the stage show?
Typically having the stage setup against a wall having all of your guests seated in front and as close as possible (this helps provide a more intimate feeling). Guests that are seated directly to either side of the stage or behind, have TERRIBLE seats and therefore it’s best to avoid that. A space that can comfortably seat all of your guests without having them on the sides or behind the stage is best. Also watch out for those huge annoying beams right in the middle of some rooms. Please take into consideration your guests so they donโ€™t get stuck behind one of them and miss out on the fun. See the example room diagram below. Optionally, you can request “pipe and drape” for the stage which basically serves as the backdrop of the performance and gives it a nice feel.
What size audiences can David entertain?
David’s entertainment is best suited for small to medium size crowds. David entertains groups as intimate as 10 people all the way up to 500 guests in a ballroom. If you have a large group (200 or more), the use of projection screens makes the show even more enjoyable for your guests. Talk to your venue or contact a local audio/video company with questions to further explore that option.

David Farr Magic
Based on 247 reviews
David was absolutely incredible - I cannot recommend him highly enough! Everyone at our party was amazed and delighted. David is funny, and his show was very entertaining on top of the impressive magic tricks. After he left, we enjoyed the rest of the evening asking each other, "how did he DO that?!" It was very memorable, and we would hire David again in a heartbeat.
Very entertaining for a variety of age groups.
We recently hired David Farr to perform his strolling magic at a Twins baseball game during our annual customer appreciation event. Heโ€™s become a staple of this gathering, and our guests absolutely love his talent and energy. The event wouldnโ€™t be the same without him. Highly recommend David for any type of event entertainment!
Excellent performer and perfect for kids! We've had him twice at the program I run, and we'll be having him back again!
David performed at my wedding and I continue to hear stories days later about how mind blowing and entertaining he was at our cocktail hour. A perfect way to differentiate our wedding from others, elevating the guest experience and making it a truly immersive and interactive experience. Lifelong memories were created and Davidโ€™s magic was astounding. Many of my guests have already inquired for his information so they can have him at their future celebrations!!! A true hit 10/10!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for the incredible review Shelby! Iโ€™m thrilled to hear that my magic and mentalism helped make your wedding day unforgettable. Your guests were such a fun and engaged crowd, and I loved creating those interactive, mind-blowing moments during your cocktail hour. My goal as a wedding magician in Minneapolis is always to elevate the guest experience, making each event feel unique, personal, and memorable. It means a lot to know your friends are already asking how they can bring that same energy to their own celebrations! Wishing you and Amanda a lifetime of happiness โ€” and Iโ€™d be honored to bring the magic to your future events, anniversaries, or parties. Thank you again for trusting me to be part of your big day!
David was a massive hit at our cocktail reception. We heard positive comments all night long about Davidโ€™s performance, and days later weโ€™re continuing to hear enthusiastic feedback about his magical performance. We are very happy that we included David into our festivities. He has been professional in every aspect from the moment we inquired about his availability through the actual event itself. I highly recommend including David in whatever type of event that you may be hosting when you want to make a positive lasting impression on all of your attendees. We loved the way he brought many of our guests together to interact with one another while watching his world class magic.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for this wonderful review! It absolutely makes my day to hear that the magic created such a buzz at your cocktail reception and that guests are still talking about it days later. That's exactly the kind of lasting impact I strive for! As a strolling magician in Minneapolis, one of my favorite aspects of performing is watching strangers become friends as they gather around to experience the magic together. There's something truly special about how close-up magic naturally brings people together and breaks the ice at events - it sounds like your cocktail reception was the perfect example of this! I'm thrilled that you felt supported throughout the entire process, from our initial inquiry to the actual performance. Professionalism and creating that "wow factor" are what I'm passionate about as a Minneapolis strolling magician. For anyone considering entertainment for their upcoming events, this review beautifully captures what strolling magic brings to the table - not just individual moments of wonder, but a way to connect your guests and create those positive lasting impressions that everyone remembers. Thank you again for trusting me to be part of your special celebration. It was truly a pleasure performing for you and your guests! Magically yours, David Professional Strolling Magician | Minneapolis & Twin Cities

~AHS Class of 1995 Reunion Committee!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for the amazing feedback Sarah! Iโ€™m so glad I could help make your AHS Class of 1995 reunion fun, unique, and memorable.

Whether itโ€™s a class reunion, corporate event, or private celebration, my goal is always to deliver fun, professional, and non-cheesy entertainment that guests will be talking about long after the event ends. Iโ€™m so happy to hear that we achieved that together. Thanks again for letting me be part of such a special milestone โ€” and hereโ€™s to many more reunions filled with magic and great memories!
All age entertainment, we love David ! Thank you for entertaining at my birthday party 🎉
Response from the owner:Thank you Deb! It was great seeing you and the family! I had a ton of fun with everyone!
We hired David for our wedding reception as an extra gift to our guests and just to kinda help take some of the pressure off us during cocktail hour. BEST DECISION WE HAVE EVER MADE! It has not even been 48 hours since our reception and almost all our guests (140) have came to us or our parents to say how much they enjoyed the magician and how much of a great surprise it was for them. I would 1000% recommend hiring him for your wedding reception, corporate event, adult bday parties, bachelorette/bachelor, anniversary parties, etc. If this is your first time hiring something like this, just make sure you hire David because I canโ€™t vouch for anyone else but this man is IT! The vibe, the moment, he delivers ALL OF IT!!!

There's nothing quite like the joy of seeing everyone's faces light up during those magical moments! As a wedding magician in Minneapolis, my goal is always to take the pressure off couples during cocktail hour while creating that "wow factor" that gets everyone talking. Your wedding sounds like it was absolutely perfect, and I'm honored to have been part of such a special celebration. For future couples searching for a Minneapolis wedding magician, this review perfectly captures what makes wedding magic so special - it's not just entertainment, it's about creating those shared moments of wonder that your guests will remember long after the last dance.

Teenagers can be a tough crowd, but when you see them gathered around, cheering and laughing together, you know you've hit the mark! I absolutely love that you could track my location by following the noise - that's exactly the kind of enthusiastic response every magician hopes for! There's something incredible about watching young people put aside their phones and social media to be completely captivated by live magic happening right in front of them.
